North10? is that anything?

Probably more of something than we’ll see from the new Gaffer

Where are all the MLs to remind me that voting is pointless?

So they are going to autocomplete their takes based on the headline, I hope the irony isn’t lost on them.

Save the Children is part of a coalition of 17 humanitarian organisations who issued a joint statement on Wednesday calling on the incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham, to take “decisive action on Gaza and the occupied West Bank” when he takes office next week.

Among its central demands is the complete suspension of arms sales to Israel and the imposition of trade sanctions until alleged breaches of international law are brought to an end.

Pretty reasonable demands, the bare minimum TBH, anything else is complicity

A government source suggested on Wednesday that the post could increase anxiety among MPs already worried about their security

Oh no, have MPs tried being responsive to constituents needs as a way to avoid being hated?

I was only saying that under capitalism, the system requires people be separated from the resources we need to survive and forced to work, so we should at a minimum replace that with something better.

But i do agree that as long as some people control access to what we need to survive, those people they will use that control to extract value from the rest of us

I think it’s only been solved a few times in the past, and usually that happens capitalists & authoritarian “communists” did a lot of work to prevent it spreading.

It’s fundamental to capitalism

Capital is “Wealth, money, or assets used to start a business, produce goods, or invest for future growth”

Even if you don’t fully agree with the labor theory of value if you accept that it’s partially accurate, then it’s fundamental to capitalism to have a captive workforce that have to work to survive, because that’s how you turn your money into more money: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value

That’s why the development of modern capitalism was contingent on enclosing the commons and taking away people’s ability to survive without working in factories for capitalists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure#Parliamentary_inclosure_acts

And also why the myth of the tragedy of the commons was invented by a literal lord: https://inthesetimes.com/article/commons-practices-capitalism-enclosure-peasants-indigenous-collective-ownership

If you really want to get into the details Marx lays it out pretty well in Capital vol.1 (even if it’s not written in a particularly concise way and quite Eurocentric, I think this aspect is pretty well sourced and does explain how capitalism came to be in Europe pretty well).

So under a capitalist system, where capitalists & the state need your labor in order to enrich themselves, no alternative to labor is ever going to remove the requirement for people to work in order to access what they need to survive.

With record heatwaves due to climate change maybe now would be a good time to clamp down on the domestic-mainland UK flights, which make up about 10% of flights to London (about 7% if you remove flights to Belfast)

One aspect of capitalism that many people don’t get is that capital is only capital and not just money, because you can force people to work for you, that’s why UBI or paying people based on stock values will never be enough to get your average person out of wage slavery.

Ok Now what?

Spain’s current prime minister’s allies are in jail with substantial sentences, and all we’re doing is putting out a damning report.

You can bet your ass Corbyn would be locked up if he’d been in office when this happened, it’s insane that Labour won’t lift a finger to lock up these criminals.

Look if we start taking money back from obvious scams that are ripping us off, where do we stop? Vulture Capitalist firms? BlackRock? All landlords?

Dude WTF are you on about? I’ve run openCV on Pi-zeros.

I think you need to lay of the Rich & Morty, it’s clearly causing you brain damage.

Is an SBC with miniscule processing power, far less than a dedicated phone detection camera would have.

How does that help you dig you’re way out of this hole you’ve dug by claiming it’s impossible to locally process images?

My hotest selfhosting take is that stuff I use in my day job, docker/k8s/cloud is not worth it and generally worse for long-term self hosting than a Debian box.

Like I have the skills to troubleshoot containerized setups, it’s litterally my dayjob, but I’d rather not deal with it in my freetime unless there is no other way to run it.

What advantage does it have compared to Matrix?/IRC?

Didn’t stop the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas, they’re not from the UK either, came over on large boats!

OpenCV is more than capable of detecting a phone AND can easily be run on a PI with a frame rate high enough for traffic monitoring.

How are so many people so rabidly and confidently ignorant?

I dunno man, what made you that way?

Good, but also wild to prioritize this in a country that has had multiple anti-imigrant pogroms.

Pretty sure.that’s just because Scottish policing is devolved.
